Sustainable Product Design in Sarkanda / Reed Craft

Reed / Sarkanda is a sustainable material found in abundance, however very few products are made from it.

We experimented with it by slicing the sarkanda into cross-sections, and pasting those on products like photoframes. We further sliced it into even thinner cross-sections, light could pass through them, and used them in lamps.

We intend to explore combining sarkanda with other materials like wood, metals etc. Also, we will be developing hardware for sarkanda, to be used in joineries.
